The American Interest

"The American Interest" (AI) is a bimonthly journal on foreign and domestic policy, politics and culture.

The magazine was founded in 2005 by a number of members of the editorial board of "The National Interest", led by Francis Fukuyama, who stated that they were upset by the Nixon Center's changes to editorial policy.

tatement of Purpose

The official agenda of the magazine is threefold:

1. " [T] o analyze America's conduct on the global stage and the forces that shape it--not just its strategic aspects, but also its economic, cultural and historical dimensions."

2. " [T] o examine what American policy should be. It is our view that the challenges and opportunities of our time transcend the assumptions and vocabulary used by both the Left and Right in recent years, and that we need to move beyond the defense of obsolete positions."

3. "Third, though its name is The American Interest, our pages are open to the world...the "AI" invites citizens of all nations into the American national dialogue, convinced that Americans have much to learn from the experience and perspectives of others."
